"Environmental engineering is a professional engineering discipline related to environmental science."
This field focuses on the development and implementation of solutions to environmental problems, such as pollution reduction and waste management.
Environmental Chemistry: The study of chemical substances and their effects on natural environments and ecosystems.
Environmental microbiology: The study of microorganisms in the environment and their effects on natural systems.
Ecology: The study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment.
Environmental physics: The study of physical processes and how they affect the environment.
Wastewater treatment: The process of removing contaminants from wastewater to produce treated wastewater that is safe for discharge into the environment.
Air pollution control: The process of reducing or eliminating pollutants from the air to improve air quality.
Solid waste management: The process of collecting, transporting, and disposing of solid waste in an environmentally responsible manner.
Water resources management: The management of water resources to ensure that water is available for current and future generations.
Water treatment: The process of removing contaminants from water to produce drinking water that is safe for human consumption.
Environmental impact assessment: The process of evaluating the potential environmental impacts of proposed projects or policies.
Renewable energy: Energy that is derived from natural resources that are replenished over time.
Climate change: The long-term change in the Earth's climate, including changes in temperature, precipitation, and sea level.
"It encompasses broad scientific topics like chemistry, biology, ecology, geology, hydraulics, hydrology, microbiology, and mathematics."
"[Environmental engineering] creates solutions that will protect and also improve the health of living organisms."
"Environmental engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering and chemical engineering."
"While on the part of civil engineering, the Environmental Engineering is focused mainly on Sanitary Engineering."
"Environmental engineering applies scientific and engineering principles to improve and maintain the environment to protect human health."
"Environmental engineers devise solutions for wastewater management, water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and public health."
"They design plans to prevent waterborne diseases and improve sanitation in urban, rural, and recreational areas."
"They evaluate hazardous-waste management systems to evaluate the severity of such hazards, advise on treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps."
"They implement environmental engineering law, as in assessing the environmental impact of proposed construction projects."
"Environmental engineers study the effect of technological advances on the environment, addressing local and worldwide environmental issues such as acid rain, global warming, ozone depletion, water pollution, and air pollution."
"Environmental engineers study the effect of technological advances on the environment, addressing local and worldwide environmental issues such as [...] air pollution from automobile exhausts and industrial sources."
"Most jurisdictions impose licensing and registration requirements for qualified environmental engineers." Please note that since some questions may have multiple relevant quotes, the provided quotes may not be exhaustive for each question.
